Hi, Don and Cher. I use Google Chrome, and there seems to be no way to force an Adobe file to open in Adobe when using that browser.

Hi again, Don and Cher. I was wrong in my last message. I just hadn’t found out how to cause PDF’s to be handled in a way other than to be opened in Google Chrome. I am right in that you cannot cause Google Chrome to open files in Adobe. However if you do the following, you can cause them to be downloaded, instead of opening in the browser.
1. Open Google Chrome. 2. Go to Settings. 3. Arrow down to Site Settings and press ENTER. 4. Go to Privacy and Security. TAB until you get to the PDF documents link and press ENTER. 5. Now choose the Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome button, and press SPACE.
Now, if you encounter a PDF file on a web page, you can download it, then view it in Adobe.

I’ve had no problem getting Chrome to open PDF files in Adobe. Here’s how I do it in Windows 10:
Once you get to .PDF, Jaws should tell you what the default program it will open in. On yours it should say ‘Google Chrom. Press space and tab until you hear ‘Adobe Acrobat’. Then I just press Alt and F4 to close the program. To check that it’s worked, follow the above instructions up to step four or open a PDF file in Google Chrome.
Hope that helps.

Not doing that here- mine was already set for Adobe Reader for .pdf. The file type .pdfxml has no default. What should that be set to?

Hello,
I think that the easiest way to download a PDF to your computer from Chrome or any other browser so you can read it in Acrobat Reader is to simply hit Control S when you are on the browser's PDF viewer. This will open the standard Save As dialog box, from which you can choose the save location on your PC. Regarding the previous post on changing your default PDF viewer in your PC settings, that works only for PDFs already on your PC, not ones opened on the web. Regards, David David

For most of the PDF files that I read, the PDF reader included in Google Chrome gives better results than Adobe Reader DC. Of course, this may vary depending on the nature of the PDF files that you receive.

Hi Cher,
I'm late to this thread and I'm sorry if I'm repeating
something that has already been mentioned. Try having the PDF files
downloaded so you can read them with Adobe instead of Chrome opening them, steps
are below.
1. Press, Alt + F, to open the Chrome context menu, and up
arrow to, Settings, and press enter. Or press, Alt + F, then press the
letter, S, to open the menu / settings.
2. Tab to, Privacy & Security link, press enter, then tab to Site Settings link, press enter. 3. Now tab 25 times or so to, link PDF Documents, press enter, tab 1 time to, Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome Toggle button, and press your spacebar so that Jaws reports, Pressed Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome Toggle button. Note: It's very important that you hear the word, PRESSED, because this means this setting is turned on. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Your experience with Google and pdf files is very interesting. Everyone else still seems to advise opening them in Adobe.
